The level of TRUST required

They’re so fucking smooth I almost can’t stop watching

That is so impressive but terrifying

RIGHT??!

foxtrots:

I need to draw this. I don’t have the skill to draw this, but I need to draw this

Like this is gonna turn into a full on au

God knows yet how these guys met and started a tumble troupe but fuck it

Maybe they won the war after like...five years, and in their drunken victory stupor they decided the most obvious next step would be to travel the country using their skills to bring joy back to the people

All extra money they earn will go to rebuilding their homes that were ravaged by the Empire

There are many hungover ‘what the fuck’ moments in the morning but Nyx is actually kindve into it?

Like....he’s a daredevil and while there’s still routing out to do of remaining tech and daemons, their job is functionally over. What are they gonna do? Join the Crownsguard? Those fucking assholes don’t want them

see my problem is nyx is absolutely the asshole who would join the crownsguard to make a point orz

but i love this au

Man, at 25 he would

But Crowe would tell him he’s being stupid

The alternative would be going home which is suddenly a very real possibility

You know.....

Bet you they won the war because Drautos decided to turn his rage onto the empire

(Maybe Regis discovered who he was and they had a nice long, emotional talk and instead of imprisoning him for his crimes in the past he offered leniency if Drautos would fight for him)

(He’s not asking for your loyalty, Titus, he knows that was lost long ago. He’s asking for your strength to end this war for good so he can right the wrongs of his father.)

(He’s asking for a chance to prove that his whole kingdom is worth defending and building)

Thoughts?

/meanwhile looking up pose references

Nyx got so much attention during the war and he wants nothing more than to disappear. What better way than to go traveling with his best buds, wearing snazzy outfits and clay masks?

also, you know I'm here for any sort of circus AU

Rumors of your death have been grossly exaggerated.

sob Regis would try that yes

Imagine how that would all go if Drautos WANTED to win

All that power and strategic intelligence going the other way instead. He’d know exactly how to dismantle the empire.

Wouldn’t stop Ardyn, but would very well make him think up a different plan

And the Glaive technically wouldn’t be fired. Just. Inactive.

Can you imagine some upstart rogue cell causing shit in the name of the empire, trying to get revenge or something, and these fuckin....acrobats suddenly all have weapons

Weapons they know how to use with deadly precision

Like bitch, you thought...

They’d be perfectly incognito, too. Other than Insomnia, no one knows who the fuck are under the hoods

I dare say most of Insomnia has no idea either

God knows I can’t even name anyone on my local police force, much less the marine corp

Bonus: they've done the undercover acrobats mission in the past and all have their stage names and acts already picked out
